2026 Rahu Transit: The planets Rahu and Ketu are called shadowy planets by our ancestors. Because astronomically they are not substantial heavenly bodies with an observable body shape or mass like the Sun, Moon and other planets. These two are the intersecting points at which the orbit of the Moon cuts the orbit of the Sun are called nodes, and they are exactly 180 degrees apart. The north node is called Rahu, and the south node is called Ketu and they transit in the retrograde movement in the zodiac belt. Rahu and Ketu are said to stay in a sign for about 18 months.
According to Hindu mythology has in its characteristic way symbolized these two parts of a single body, the first half head being denoted by Rahu and the tail part denoted by Ketu and this occurred due to Rahu coming as Deva in disguise. The Sun and Moon pointed to Lord Vishnu that it is Rahu the Asura. According to a Puranic story, after churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) came out a divine elephant, a horse, a physician, the Goddess of wealth and Dhanvantari (the physician of gods) holding Amrit or immortality. About the distribution of Amrit, there was a serious dispute amongst the Devas and Asuras. The Supreme Lord (Lord Vishnu) assuming the shape of an Apsara Mohini, took charge of distributing the Amrit with the consent of both Devas and Asuras.
So, she distributed the Amrit that all of it was consumed by Devas but one among the Asuras named Swarbhanu had stealthily joined the row of Devas and got a share of Amrit but was discovered and exposed by the Surya Devata and the Chandra Devata. Then the Supreme Lord Vishnu cut the head of Swarbhanu and divided it into two pieces, but as he had consumed a few drops of Amrit both the body parts remained alive even after being separated. The head got the name of 'Rahu' and the body and tail 'Ketu’. This made Rahu and Ketu enemies of the Surya Devta (planet Sun) and the Chandra Devta (planet Moon). Due to this reason, from time to time they succeed in swallowing the Sun and the Moon and this process is known as eclipses, but they escape as they are immortal.
Rahu is the planet of addiction, compulsions and offers endless desires, the one who wants to be in the centre of attraction, it is also the planet that magnifies such things. In today's time, Rahu is someone born in low caste work as a sweeper. Rahu is also considered as black big serpent, more practical and less emotional.
